拍賣筆記 Vol.32 區百齡首拍:302.4萬港幣,傳世龍泉官式花口洗 - Inaugural Sale, An Heirloom Au Bak Ling Longquan Mallow Form Dish, Guan Style.




Henderson 區百齡首拍,302.4萬港幣成交。



開大片,金絲,屬於典型的南宋巔峰時期龍泉窯製品。審美宮廷官式,接近南宋官窯瓶「玉津園」。釉層濃厚,雖有衝線2條、小磕一處、縮釉一處,但仍瑕不掩瑜。


學術重要性是其與官窯共享的器型和釉面的質感、開片方式的審美取向一致性,可繼續探索龍泉窯頂級青瓷與南宋官窯,乃至南宋宮廷之間的關係。


從存世量上看,類似本品的傳世作品極少。


牛津Ashmolean Museum藏有東方陶瓷學會Alan Barlow舊藏斗笠碗一件,當初當作南宋哥窯購買,有類似本品一樣的釉面質感和金絲開片。


臨宇山人曾經透過紐約佳士得售出一件南宋龍泉窯官式貫耳瓶,開片也與區百齡這件器物類似。


克拉克也曾經有一件類似的南宋龍泉官式三足爐,在蘇富比售出。有著同樣的開片和類似的釉面質感。








The crackle is of large size, with gold filigree, typical of the Longquan kilns of the Southern Song dynasty, which were at their peak. The present piece is in the imperial style category, reminiscent of the Southern Song Guan Vase, Yujinyuan. The glaze is thick, and although there are two hairlines, a small chip, and a small area of glaze shrinkage, it is still considered desirable.


The academic importance of this piece is the consistency of its aesthetic orientation in terms of the shape and texture of the glaze, and the way it is opened, which allows us to continue to explore the relationship between Longquan kiln's finest celadon and the official kilns of the Southern Song dynasty, and even the court of the Southern Song dynasty.


In terms of quantity, there are very few surviving works similar to this one. In the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, there is a conical bowl from the old collection of Alan Barlow of the Oriental Ceramics Society, originally purchased as a Southern Song Ge Ware, which has a glaze texture and gold filigree similar to the present example.

本盤器形優美,釉色青翠,為南宋龍泉窯仿同期修内司官窯之佳作。清宮舊藏中有一件南宋修内司官釉葵口折腰盤,其足緣無釉,露出「鐵足」,盤底鎸刻乾隆皇帝「詠官窯葵花盤」,除此以外,無論盤口造型、釉色還是開片,皆與此盤極爲相近,見《宋官窯特展》,台北,1989年,圖版99號。



類似的南宋龍泉青釉葵口盤數量稀少。比較一件無開片之例子,載於《日本人の愛した中國陶磁龍泉窯青磁展》,山口縣,2012年,圖版53號;及四川成都駟馬橋宋墓發現一件帶細開片之例,見《四川省博物館藏龍泉窯瓷器精品–龍泉青瓷》,1998年,頁112-113。


A LONGQUAN CELADON MALLOW-FORM DISH

SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY (1127-1279)


Estimate HKD 1,000,000 – HKD 1,500,000


The dish is finely potted with deep flared sides rising to an everted, hexa-lobed rim, and is covered overall in a luminous bluish-green glaze suffused with brown crackles, leaving the foot unglazed, revealing the greyish biscuit body.


6 ¼ in. (15.9 cm.) diam.


PROVENANCE

Sold at Christie’s London, 10 December 1990, lot 114A


Sold at Sotheby’s New York, Harmony of Form, Serenity of Color: A Private Collection of Song Ceramics, 23 March 2011, lot 510


The present dish is a beautiful and successful example made by the Longquan kilns located in Zhejiang during the Southern Song dynasty, in imitation of the contemporary Xiuneisi Guan wares, which were produced in Hangzhou exclusively for the Southern Song imperial court. A Xiuneisi Guan dish of similar form, bluish-green glaze, and wide russet crackles is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Sung Dynasty Kuan Ware, Taipei, 1989, no. 99.


Southern Song Longquan mallow-form dishes are quite rare. Compare the present dish with a similar example without crackles in a Japanese private collection, illustrated in Longquan Ware: Chinese Celadon Beloved of the Japanese, Yamaguchi, 2012, no. 53; and one with narrow glaze crackles discovered at Simaqiao, Chengdu, illustrated in Cerâmicas Celadon de Longquan, Macau, 1998, pp. 112-113.
